Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 888 - 886: The Tiger Borrows Power (2 Updates)
When Yun Ran and the White Tiger were leaving the Underground Palace, they didn’t use the regular entrance, but exited directly through the opening destroyed by other Great Demons.
Along the way, they saw many white bones, but the clothes on those bones looked evidently recent.
"How did these Great Demons turn into white bones so quickly?"
The White Tiger listened to Yun Ran’s words, and his eyes immediately showed some frustration.
Could he say that the bodies and Demon Cores of these Great Demons were absorbed by the Demon-locking Tower?
Clearly, these Great Demons should have been under his command. If their powers were absorbed by himself, he wouldn’t bow his head to Yun Ran.
The White Tiger hadn’t yet figured out how to respond.
Suddenly, Yun Ran let out an "Oh," as if she understood.
"I said, how come that Artifact Spirit suddenly absorbed a surge of power earlier? Turns out, it got it from them."
Even those dead Black Robed People had turned into white bones; presumably, they also became nourishment for the Artifact Spirit of the Demon-locking Tower.
Tsk tsk tsk...
Fortunately, Junior Master helped protect her, and the Dragon Spirit helped her withstand half of the power; only then could Yun Ran come out unharmed.
Otherwise, the consequences could have been dire.
Though it wouldn’t be as bad as a missing limb, it certainly wouldn’t be pleasant; without lying down for ten days to half a month, she definitely couldn’t get up.
The White Tiger had always been curious how Yun Ran managed to subdue that ferocious creature.
But his relationship with Yun Ran was obviously not close enough, so he couldn’t really ask.
But now it was different; Yun Ran had brought it up herself, so it wouldn’t count as him deliberately probing.
The White Tiger immediately feigned indifference and asked, "What happened to that Artifact Spirit now? After absorbing so much energy, it must be really powerful, right?"
Yun Ran glanced sideways at the White Tiger.
He seemed innocent and foolish, but in reality, he had many cunning ideas, though not all were genuine.
"Do you want to know?"
The White Tiger truly believed his flattery worked and immediately looked sincerely at Yun Ran, "Can I really?"
Yun Ran: ...
She felt that when talking to this White Tiger, she couldn’t speak ironically, otherwise, he honestly wouldn’t understand.
This exceptionally dense sensitivity, coupled with that straightforward nature; in the human world, he would definitely be considered mentally slow.
However, thinking about how this White Tiger had been trapped inside the Demon-locking Tower for so long without being completely absorbed, he did have some ability.
Yun Ran rummaged through her bag, and finally, she pulled out the crystal-clear little tower.
"Here it is."
The White Tiger imagined many scenarios, but never thought Yun Ran would simply pull out the sparkling little tower and place it in front of him.
This made the White Tiger momentarily excited, revealing his tiger claws inadvertently.
Looking at the silly demeanor of the White Tiger, the Ginsengfruit couldn’t help but think about the Mountain Spirit he saw earlier in the Northeast Snow Mountain.
The Mountain Spirit was heavily injured, lost its original form, and could only possess a lynx that was near death.
But at that time, he could truly feel that the Mountain Spirit possessed wisdom.
The Demon King before him, though seemingly the master of Death Mountain, couldn’t compare to the Mountain Spirit at all.
Refusing to form a contract with the Mountain Spirit back then felt like a loss.
Not because he didn’t gain the Mountain Spirit’s power, but having seen more foolish spirit monsters...
The Mountain Spirit of the Northeast Snow Mountain appeared exceptionally normal. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
What bad intentions could the Ginsengfruit have? He just wanted to interact with intelligent spirit creatures.
When encountering someone as silly as the White Tiger, he found it hard to watch, let alone his Host.
At this moment, the White Tiger was truly excited, fumbling around for a while before finally retracting his tiger claws.
"Can I touch it?"
The little tower of the Demon-locking Tower’s body had already been contracted by Yun Ran, and Junior Master had also infused the Prohibition of Qingfeng Temple onto its tower body.
Even if it fell into someone else’s hands, they wouldn’t be able to use it; ultimately, it would return to Yun Ran’s hands.
Knowing this, Yun Ran felt assured and gracefully moved the little tower towards the White Tiger’s hand.
Though this guy was silly, he was still, after all, the former owner of Death Mountain; he must be familiar with this place.
Seeing that the White Tiger was about to generously take her on a treasure hunt, Yun Ran couldn’t be too stingy.
After all, the White Tiger was just touching it; Yun Ran wouldn’t lose anything.
Just when the little tower reached the White Tiger’s hand, he immediately felt the aura that had oppressed him for so many years.
He excitedly exclaimed, "Yes, it’s this!"
It’s often said that powerful creatures rely on people’s support; at this moment, the White Tiger also perked up because Yun Ran had control over the Demon-locking Tower.
Even though Yun Ran hadn’t established any substantial connection with him, nor did she intend to back him up.
Still, the White Tiger felt like he finally turned things around and dared to speak louder.
"This thing made me suffer a lot; now that it ended up like this, it totally deserves it!"
If the thing didn’t belong to Yun Ran, the White Tiger might have smashed the little tower and stomped on it a few times to vent his anger.
In the White Tiger’s view, falling into the hands of a fierce woman like Yun Ran leads to a much worse fate.
He cursed at the little tower for quite a while before finally handing it back to Yun Ran with satisfaction.
By this time, they had reached the exit.
Having not seen real natural light and the sun hanging high for quite some time, seeing these again, Yun Ran felt an overdue sense of happiness.
Yun Ran closed her eyes to adjust for a while before finally opening them, though they were still somewhat sore, secreting a few physiological tears.
Unable to help but sigh, "Humans are indeed more suited to grow under the sun; without sunlight, no matter how good other places are, no matter how well simulated, they are not the ideal place to live."
Could it be said that the Underground Palace is bad? Definitely not, it has everything inside.
Apart from the precious items, there are even hot springs, which not everyone can enjoy.
But for Yun Ran, lying on the grass and soaking up the sun feels more comfortable.
When she finally saw outside clearly,
Yun Ran looked shocked at the surroundings not far away, where traces of thunder strikes were everywhere, turning a well-tended garden into a ruin.
"When did Heavenly Thunder fall on this place!"
If she remembered correctly, Death Mountain had never been hit by Heavenly Thunder.
She didn’t think much about it before, but now it seemed that the absence of Heavenly Thunder here was evidently related to the Demon-locking Tower.
